I have been working with Cari for 2 1/2 years and cannot be happier with her work. Initially, she transferred all of our records from a desktop version to a cloud based version of Quickbooks. She performs all of our non-profits bookkeeping work at a reasonable monthly rate. Her work is always accurate and provided to me monthly for review on a timely basis. She is always available for questions or consultations when we required. In addition, each year she interfaces with our accountant on the preparation of our 990 form for annual submission to the IRS. Cari is also a Quickbooks Certified ProAdvisor which has proved invaluable in solving some issues we encountered in the past regarding Quickbooks.

My strengths are the marketing and implementing our production scheduling software tools, not the managing of the accounting. Utilizing Cari's services have helped me focus what I do best. Thank you Cari!!
